CAUTION: Electrical shock and fire hazard. Can cause personal and equipment damage.
• Before servicing or cleaning the system, always remove the power cord from the AC wall
outlet.
• Wear protective clothing and safety glasses when installing ventilator and working with
sheet metal.
• To reduce the hazards of electric shock or fire, do not perform any service to the system
other than those stated in the operating manual instructions.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this ventilation system comes equipped with a
3-prong plug-in. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
• Do not use ventilation system for outdoor application.
• Do not pull or twist power cord when disconnecting it from the ventilation system. Grasp
the plug firmly, not the cord.
• Do not modify the power plug in any way; if modified, risk of electric shock, fire, or even
damage to the unit may occur.
• Do not use the ventilation system for removal of flammable fumes, gases or connect
directly to any appliances.
• Use a 120 VAC outlet only.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Do not obstruct or cover the air intake or air outlet of the ventilation system.
• Do not modify, repair or disassemble this system. These tasks are to be performed by
authorized serviced personnel only. Fire, electrical shock and/or bodily injury may occur
if these warnings are not followed.
• To prevent injuries, do not operate the ventilation system, while servicing or maintaining.
There are impeller wheels turning at a very high speed that must fully stop rotating prior
to accessing the inside of the unit.
• Always assess how the operation of the ventilation system may interact with vented
combustion equipment (i.e. Gas Furnace, Oil Furnace, Combustion, Appliances, etc.)
• Ensure unit is properly installed and suspended to prevent falling or dropping injuries.

Hanging the ERV/HRV
1. Attachstrapstojoistusingthesupplied
washers and four 1 in. hex-head hanging
screws.
TheERV/HRVunitenablesyoutosavetimeandeffortbyofferingasimplifiedhangingsystem.
NOTE: If the unit is not level, improper drainage will occur and could lead to moisture and leakage
problems.
2. Pull on middle of strap while gently lifting unit
upward to raise the unit.
3. MakenaladjustmentstoensurethattheHRV/ERVislevel.
TIP: Removing the core unit makes installation easier since the unit weighs less
without the core inside.

Installing the flex duct to the ERV/HRV
TIP: Honeywellrecommendsusingapproximately16inchesofflexibleduct(suppliedinkit)betweenthe
unit and the rigid duct for noise dampening. The flex duct is mounted to the unit the same way as the
insulated flex.
1. Insert the vinyl duct over the hooks on the
duct collar and seal with a supplied 30 inch
tie wrap.
2. Insert insulation inside the outer ring of the duct
collar.
3. Finishbytapingtheductonthecollar. 4. Slide collar onto unit.
TIP: Attach the flex duct to the collar first, and then
attach the collar to the unit.
5. Secure collar with the supplied 5/8 in.
hex-head screws.
IMPORTANT: Always fix and secure each collar using
four of the 5/8 in. screws supplied.
This step is critical in order to prevent
condensation accumulation.

Connecting the power cord
ERV/HRV Power Cord
Insert the power cord on top of the unit. Press firmly
to make sure the power cord is secure.
IMPORTANT: Do not plug the power cord into the
wall receptacle at this time.
Electric Wall Outlet
Honeywell recommends that the unit has a dedicated receptacle
with 120 VAC.
Avoid connecting the unit to the wall receptacle with an
extension cord.
Honeywell does not recommend the use of an extension cord.
Ensurethatthereceptacle’spolarizationiscorrect.
NOTE: IftheLEDlightontheERV/HRVcontrolpanelremainsgreen,themotorsdonotenergize,and
